Hi, Here is rebased version of mce patches using the simple work 'framework'. The patch from Steven was straight forward to port. I am not really sure if my version on Paul's patch is not too crazy. Feedback is more than welcome. I tested this with mce-inject and some additional explicit calls to mce_work_irq() at various early boot phases. It didn't explode for me. Unfortunalty, qemu's monitor mce command didn't do anything except crashing the machine. I guess I just use the wrong paremeters. cheers, daniel Paul Gortmaker (1): mce: don't try to wake thread before it exists.
